 2012: PRAGUE, VIENNA & BUDAPEST (6050)
9 days from Munich to Munich, or 10 days incl. travel
The rediscovered jewels of Imperial Europe are the focus of this popular vacation, which includes overnights in Munich, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, and Salzburg. In Prague, see the tolling of the Astronomical Clock, when a sinister medieval figure of death emerges to pull the bell cord. Operating for over six centuries, this is a highlight of any trip to Prague. Also enjoy the sites, sounds, and tastes of Vienna-maybe sit in a cafe with a piece of scrumptious Sachertorte while listening to a legendary waltz, or explore the inside of St. Stephen's Cathedral with its Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Even more fabulous architecture awaits you in Budapest, known as the 'Paris of the East.' Here, you'll see the Matthias Coronation Church, founded in 1015, which has witnessed several coronations and royal weddings. Breakfast is included daily, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to sample the local cuisine in each city. Sample the sauerkraut in Munich, savor Apfelstrudel in Salzburg, and enjoy the plum dumplings and Pilsner in Prague. You'll also enjoy the enchanting natural scenery you'll witness, including the Alps and Danube River Valley-amazing features of a marvelous vacation. Notes:- April 1 Departure - Easter Week
- December 2 & December 9 departures include visit to Nuremberg, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, and Salzburg Christmas markets.
- December 19 Departure - Christmas lunch in Budapest
